So, a thought.
In Banjo Kazooie, on the #N64 , you should theoretically be able to reach the final Gruntilda fight without the Beak Bomb attack. Which is required for beating her.
You need 96 out of 100 jiggies in total, and I think the Beak Bomb is only required for 3. 2 in Freezeasy Peaks and 1 in Gobi's Desert. Oh! There is a 4th! The Grunty Switch for Freezeasy requires it! So yeah, unless I am forgetting any other jiggies that require the Beak Bomb...
What would happen if you did get to that phase of the fight without that move?
Is there some dialogue about you lacking the move to beat her?
I am super curious, but do I really want to a third run of Banjo Kazooie in the space of a year? Don't get me wrong, love the game, if I was to run it again, i probably would use some Action Replay nonsense to get to Grunty fight.
Basically, anything that doesn't require me to 100% Rusty Bucket Bay a third time!
